J Hand Surg Br. 2000 Feb;25(1):38-40. doi: 10.1054/jhsb.1999.0290.

Abstract

From 1995 to 1998, 30 patients with dorsal wrist ganglia and four with recurrent dorsal ganglia underwent arthroscopic resection. At a mean follow-up of 16 months, no complications were seen, but minimal pain persisted in three patients. Two recurrences were seen after arthroscopic resection of primary ganglia.
